I worked for an investigations company long ago. My job was to sell the investigation services to claim reps who thought a case had too many red flags. As part of my training to learn my companies services, I was put out n the field to ride along with some of the investigators. Just a few ride alongs, but very memorable. On one, we tailed a worker comp claimant to a job she was working under the table. Dental assistant. The PI got film of her by using a fanny pack with a camera , putting it facing his back, and then he put his back to a glass window where just inside, she was working. The PI and I had a fake conversation so he had a reason to stand in front of the window for so long.
Another case we hung out in a van trying to ID the owner of a PO box. The way we did it was to deliver a florescent orange package to the PO box and then just wait outside in the van for someone to come outside carrying it. That was a 6 hour wait, but we ID'd the guy and then followed him home.
